When a person is visiting our website, our web server automatically records certain details of the visit (e.g. the website the person is visiting us from, the visitor’s IP address, the specific areas of the website the person is visiting, including the date and duration of the visit). Such tracking data is used to optimize our website and provide information on how the visitor of the website learns about our products and services and how he/she uses them. However, it does not allow the identification of the visitor. In so far, no personal data is being processed in this respect.
When visiting our website, the visitor’s data is transmitted over the internet, an open network accessible to everyone. The electronic transmission of data (including via email) prohibits an effective protection of the data against third party interventions. This bears the risk that the data is being disclosed or altered, that the identity of the sender (e.g. email address) or the content of the data is imitated or otherwise manipulated by unauthorized third parties, that viruses are released, that technical transmission errors, delays or interruptions occur, that information is transmitted abroad including countries whose data protection laws are not comparable to those of Switzerland etc.

Furthermore, a visitor of our website can agree to the use of cookies. Cookies are small files that are saved on the computer of the visitor of our website in order to follow the website visit if the visitor navigates between different pages or to save settings (e.g. selected language).
